Do you think programming is difficult? Ask a carpenter! The story: Mr. Marco, from a small town near Florence, has been restoring old furniture for 40 years. When he receives a damaged Baroque armchair in his workshop, he doesn't panic. His brain immediately switches to a mode that universities call Computational Thinking.
